Chapter 332 Occupy Yunzhou

Before Du Le established the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had always been the most powerful country on the mainland. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty who ruled such a large country was naturally not a mediocre emperor, and there were many loyal and brave retainers and good generals in the court.

Unfortunately, due to information asymmetry and failure to know ourselves and the enemy, the Ming emperor, who had underestimated the Han Dynasty, simply could not accept the fact that the 300,000-strong army was defeated, and unilaterally believed that the defeat was due to the incompetence of the generals, so he did so

This decision to lead the expedition in person was something he would regret deeply in the future.

Therefore, one month after the Ming army was defeated, the Ming emperor led his troops to Chongyun City, the central provincial capital of Chengzhou in the north of Yunzhou.

Between Chongyun City and Yunzhou, there is a pass called Chuanyunguan. Chuanyunguan is about 300 kilometers away from Chongyun City, and about 200 kilometers away from Beiyu City occupied by the Han Dynasty. Today, Chuanyunguan is still

It is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has stationed 100,000 Ming troops in Chuanyun Pass to guard the pass.

The first thing the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did when he arrived at Chongyun City was to immediately investigate the causes and consequences of the defeat of the southern army. This was what he cared about most. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not understand why an army of 300,000 soldiers had been destroyed in just a few days.

The whole army was actually defeated? This was something that had never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty sent the most experienced general in the southern expedition, how could there be any reason for defeat?

However, what surprised the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty even more was that when he summoned General Zhengnan and his generals to come to the palace for questioning, these generals did not remove their armor and apologize like the defeated soldiers in the past, but showed no signs of defeat.

Feeling guilty, I knelt down in front of him very calmly and listened to your orders.

"Our army was defeated because of the evil tricks used by the Han army." General Zhengnan defended himself, as if despite the defeat, he had no regrets.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty couldn't believe it, but General Zhengnan's expression was firm and his words were conclusive, and it didn't seem like he was lying or evading. This made the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty start to have doubts in his heart.

"Is there really a monster?" the emperor whispered softly. Could it be that the Han thieves really have divine help?

The emperor glanced at the generals who were kneeling on the ground. The war situation at hand was urgent. If he tried to accuse these ministers again, not only would it not be helpful to the war, but it would only shake the morale of the army further. It is better to control the overall situation before making a decision.

So he asked the ministers: "In that case, have you come up with any countermeasures?"

General Zhengnan glanced at the vanguard general. The vanguard general gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say: "The spider monsters sent by the Han army are invulnerable to weapons, water and fire. The defeat of the ministers is really helpless. Please forgive me for my incompetence, sir."

There is no good way to wait.”

"Huh." The emperor said with great dissatisfaction: "The imperial court has been raising troops for many years, but there are no available talents in front of the battle?"

The ministers below looked at each other, speechless, and had to lower their heads lower.

"I don't care whether the spider monsters are real or fake. If you are given another chance, are you sure to defeat the Han army and eliminate the spider monsters in your mouth?" the emperor said.

"The guilty minister thought that he could use a trebuchet to throw huge stones." General Hu Kui knew that his fate was in the hands of the emperor. Seeing that everyone was speechless, he quickly offered a plan to protect him from being beheaded in defeat.

Genocide.

"Trebuchet..." the Ming emperor mused.

"Your Majesty, I think it is best for Your Majesty to leave Chongyun City and return to the capital immediately. I suggest that the entire army retreat from Yunzhou to regroup before fighting the Han army again one day." General Zhengnan said.

After all, General Zhengnan has been on the battlefield for many years, but he is not someone who is eager to make achievements. He also knows that the enemy and ourselves are very different in this battle. It is not a good idea for the Ming army to hit the stone with eggs. It is best to withdraw the entire army first to rest and recuperate.

The emperor's face looked ugly.

The words of General Zhengnan only showed that he was extremely afraid of the enemy, which made the emperor feel angry. However, because General Zhengnan was an old hero of the Ming Dynasty with outstanding military achievements, since he repeatedly advised him, even if it was against his ears, the emperor had to do it.

listen.

However, the emperor still found it difficult to believe their words without seeing with his own eyes the spider monster that his ministers were talking about.

"You go back to the court first, and then discuss the crime." The emperor was too lazy to listen to them anymore.

After General Zhengnan and others retreated, the emperor grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.

"Humph, a bunch of cowards."

In fact, the emperor did not fully believe the words of General Zhengnan and others, because the war situation he had grasped mentioned that the 300,000-strong army, with about 100,000 soldiers, finally escaped. And according to the spies' reports, the Han Dynasty

The Ming army captured at least 100,000 Ming troops. This inevitably made the emperor think that the Ming army was not actually defeated by the Han army, but frightened himself into fleeing. This is the true reason why the emperor hated General Zhengnan and other generals.

reason.

According to the news from the Han spies who were lurking in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty emperor who was conducting his own expedition had arrived at Chongyun City in Yunzhou.

Du Le has been waiting for this day. Since the Ming Emperor has personally gone to war, as long as their army attacks, the plan of besieging the Ming army and forcing the Ming Emperor to sign an alliance under the city will be realized soon.

Du Le thought to himself that the next battle must be thorough, at least to ensure that the Han Kingdom would not be harassed by the Ming army in the next one or two years.

Han needs to rest and recuperate.

Guanzheng was particularly good at mastering military information, so Du Le had a very clear understanding of the situation of the two armies. From the current view, the Ming Dynasty has assembled more than 200,000 troops in Chongyun City, Chengzhou. If

Including the troops from other places in Chengzhou, the total number of Ming troops is no less than 500,000. However, the Han army in Du Le's hands is only about 60,000. Even if more troops are transferred from Han, Yunzhou can only

Gathered about 100,000 Han troops.

If the 60,000 Han troops were to attack the Ming army that was several times larger, Du Le would naturally not be so naive. Even if he was not a military genius, Du Le also knew that you should not fight an uncertain battle.

Therefore, this time to face the Ming Emperor's army, Du Le plans to dispatch a thousand spider machines. I believe that these one thousand spider machines can definitely deal with the Ming army.

In this foreign land, Du Le has not found any cannons. In other words, the Ming army cannot do anything about the spider machine.

Du Le began to mobilize his troops and generals. In this battle, Du Le prepared to lead 50,000 Han troops to fight.

The Han army slowly advanced towards Chuanyunguan. As long as it broke through Chuanyunguan, it could march straight in and hit the Ming emperor. However, when Du Le led his troops to the border of Chuanyunguan, there were 100,000 Ming defenders.

Dare to open the level and go out to fight.

When Du Le saw this, he found it ridiculous. However, he also understood what the Ming army was afraid of. It seemed that the previous battle at Juncheng had made the Ming army understand that they were not enough to be enemies of the Han army.

Not wanting to deal with the Ming army too much in the city, Du Le directly took out five armed spider machines from the space. The spider machines that appeared out of thin air immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the Han army. Du Le saw with satisfaction that all the Han soldiers

The faces of the soldiers were full of expressions of reverence and admiration for themselves. In their hearts, Du Le's hand that took things out of thin air was another magical method.

In fact, although Du Le rarely showed his spatial ability in front of others after establishing the Han Kingdom, many Han people knew that their ruler was an immortal, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Therefore, these huge objects in front of them,

Naturally, it can make the Han army officers and soldiers loyal to Du Le.

Du Le controlled the spider machine and headed towards Chuanyunguan Pass.

The Ming army stationed at the city gate apparently also discovered the spider machine. When the rumored behemoth appeared in front of them, the shock was beyond imagination. For a time, one hundred thousand Ming troops were panicked.

Du Le looked at the vaguely chaotic Ming army above the checkpoint, feeling slightly disdainful. In his eyes, the people from a foreign land were actually a group of ancients. If he did not want a stable country, he would establish a stable rear area for his own benefit.

Development, but if you want to occupy and rule the Ming Dynasty, just throw in a few spider machines and you can complete the beheading of the Ming Dynasty emperor without any further explanation.

However, Du Le has no idea of ​​​​wiping out the Ming Kingdom yet, so it doesn't hurt to play with them for the time being.

The five spider machines naturally caused great trouble to the soldiers guarding Chuanyunguan. However, contrary to Du Le's expectation, the Ming Dynasty did not have no response and was ready to capture them without mercy.

Da, da... Du Le heard several loud noises in succession inside the level.

Several large rocks suddenly emerged from the pass and quickly flew towards Du Le's spider machine!

Du Le was shocked, trebuchet!

Suddenly, three of the spider machines were hit by boulders.

Boom, the boulder hit the steel and made a loud noise.

Du Le took a closer look. Among the three spider machines that were hit, one was hit in the control center on the head and immediately lost control. The other two spider machines had dents.

Seeing that one of the spider monsters could not move, the Ming army on the wall of Chuanyunguan burst into cheers.

Du Le did not expect that the Ming army would have such a move, and he immediately stopped his contempt for the Ming army. Seeing the spider machine that was hit on the head by a boulder and had no reaction at all, Du Le felt very angry.

In order to prevent the Ming army from discovering that the trebuchet was working, Du Le immediately controlled the remaining four spider machines to speed up and rush towards Chuanyunguan Pass.

Sure enough, Ming Guo's next round of stoning immediately appeared again. But because Du Le consciously accelerated the speed of the spider machine, all the boulders thrown by the trebuchet fell into the air and hit the back of the spider machine.

As soon as the four armed spider machines arrived at the city gate, the machine guns immediately opened fire on the Ming army above the checkpoint. One of the spider machines kept shooting and attacking the city gate, while the other three spider machines relied on their tentacles to climb up Chuanyun.

Guancheng Tower.

As soon as these three spider machines climbed onto the tower, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Ming army defenders.

How dare you break the myth of the invincibility of spider machines?! Du Le still felt uneasy when he saw the Ming army being violently attacked. He once again took out ten armed spider machines from the space and controlled them to rush towards the checkpoint.

You must know that this spider machine is not cheap! Du Le decided to teach the Ming army a profound lesson and let them know the cost of destroying the spider machine.

Fourteen spider machines were killing people wantonly in Chuanyun Pass. No one could withstand their close combat. Half an hour after the city gate was broken, Du Le asked Wei Qubing to lead the Han army away.

After entering the pass, the Han officers and soldiers felt the fierceness of the battle. They could not see a single Ming soldier standing at all.

After Chuanyun Pass was breached, Du Le left five thousand Han troops to guard the pass, and then led the rest of the Han troops to continue non-stop and march north to attack Chongyun City. Strike while the iron is hot, and Du Le did not want the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to have a chance to get wind of it.

Escape. Therefore, Du Le must seize the opportunity and capture the Ming Emperor alive as soon as possible.

The Han army marched straight in, and almost no Ming army could resist. It was not until the Han army came to the city that the Ming emperor realized that there was nowhere to escape. Only then did the Ming emperor truly understand the advice of General Zhengnan and other generals, and truly understand why the military city was so crowded.

After the war, the Ming army was in panic about the Han army. The Ming emperor sadly discovered that more than 100,000 Ming troops in Chongyun City were surrounded by 50,000 Han troops.

There are really monsters in the Han army! At this time, there are at least more than a hundred monsters around the four gates of Chongyun City. No one of the Ming army soldiers dared to go out of the city to fight.

Another thing that made the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty feel very helpless was that he had just received a battle report that the checkpoint had fallen, the trebuchet could cause damage to the Han army monsters, and also successfully killed a spider monster. The next second, the Han army had already

So they surrounded Chongyun City.

There are only more than thirty trebuchets in Chongyun City, and there are even fewer huge rocks, only more than 100 pieces. Compared with the at least four to five hundred spider monsters outside, they have already lost a lot in number. Moreover, at this moment, the Ming army

Trapped in Chongyun City, there was no possibility of obtaining a huge stone. Even if he wanted to use a trebuchet, he had no ability to fight. Du Le did not immediately send out negotiators, but decided to first

Let the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty fully appreciate the power of the spider machine. He first sent two armed spider machines to kill people in Chongyun City to frighten the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then ordered the two armed spider machines to climb up the city wall and rush in.

He attacked Chongyun City and carried out destruction in Chongyun City without any scruples. Not only that, Du Le also controlled the spider machine and rushed to the emperor's palace, directly forcing the Ming Emperor.

With no way to deal with the situation, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could only walk back and forth in the palace in the city in a panic, but suddenly he heard the guards exclaiming. When he looked closely, it turned out to be monsters from the Han Kingdom who had arrived at the palace!

The Emperor Ming had no time to panic, so his bodyguards hurriedly led the panicked Emperor to escape from the spider machine as quickly as possible. However, the two spider machines kept following him, chasing after him. The Emperor Ming had no choice but to

We can only order the soldiers of the Ming Army to risk their lives and stop the spider machine with their lives.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty faced death for the first time. Several escapes also gave him a deep understanding of the power of spider machines. Indeed, as the pioneer general said, these monsters are invulnerable to fire and water. Not only that, a group of so-called spider machines in Chongyun City

The strange people and strangers are completely useless.

Du Le only allowed two armed spider machines to stay in Chongyun City for an hour, which already caused great psychological pressure on the Ming Emperor. Du Le saw that the situation was almost the same, so he ordered the spider machines to withdraw. Before leaving, Du Le stopped by

Let them completely destroy a gate in Chongyun City.

Chongyun City suffered such destruction that it almost destroyed the city, and the Ming army could only watch everything happen.

Then, Du Le asked people to shout outside the city, asking the Ming army to send heavyweight representatives to negotiate. Otherwise, they would continue to send spider machines to completely eliminate the Ming army.

The Ming army officers who were still in shock heard this and looked at each other. No one wanted to die if they could live, and no one wanted to rush through the muddy water. Therefore, all the generals just bowed their heads in the palace hall, and no one dared to stand up to the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor was ordered to go out for negotiations.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also frightened. At this time, he had lost his ambition and had no intention of looking down on the Han army. His mind was filled with images of giant spider monsters wreaking havoc on everything. He was still in shock.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not want to die, so he responded very quickly and sent ministers to listen to the Han Dynasty's request.

Du Le was polite to the envoy, and just informed him of his conditions and asked him to report back to the Ming Emperor. Du Le wanted the Ming Emperor to recognize that Yunzhou would be Yunzhou belonging to the Han State, and the Ming State must guarantee not to take the initiative again.

Provoke the Han State. If the Ming State can accept peaceful coexistence, the Han State can also guarantee that it will not take the initiative to attack the Ming State.

In addition, merchants from the Han State could freely conduct business in the Ming State, and their lives and property were protected by the Ming Dynasty. Merchants from the Ming State could also conduct business in the Han State, and the Han State also guaranteed their safety.

If there are any conflicts between the two countries, they can hold talks in Yunzhou every year to discuss and resolve the conflicts.

Du Le's conditions can be said to be very favorable to the Ming Emperor. Except for the cession of Yunzhou, there was almost no difficulty for the Ming Emperor. Therefore, the Ming Emperor was willing to give up a mere state in exchange for peace.

, agreed without any hesitation, and immediately signed a covenant with Du Le and stamped his seal.

As for the prisoners of the two countries, the Han State did not mention it, and the Ming State did not take the initiative to mention it, and automatically forgot it. When Du Le saw this, he had no intention of actively handing over his labor force.

After obtaining the alliance, Du Le did not evacuate immediately. In order to avoid any possibility of the Ming Dynasty regretting it, he asked the Ming Emperor to immediately issue an order to the entire Ming Dynasty to announce the contents of the alliance. At the same time, the Han Dynasty would also announce the contents of the alliance in Yunzhou.

It was not until all this was completed that Du Le led his troops to evacuate Chuanyunguan.

Before leaving, in order to ensure the safety of Yunzhou, Du Le used construction machines to rebuild the city wall in Chuanyunguan and increase the height of the city wall. Because the Han army did not have sufficient troops like the Ming army, Du Le was in Yunzhou.

Only 50,000 Han troops could be stationed at most.

In order to ensure the rule of the Han Dynasty in Yunzhou, Du Le also built a basement in Chuanyun Pass to store two armed spider machines. This move was to prevent the Ming army from going back on a raid in the future after recharging their strength.

At this point, the entire Yunzhou fell into the hands of the Han Dynasty.

After Yunzhou became the territory of the Han Kingdom, Du Le could transform Yunzhou according to his own ideas.

In the past, because Yunzhou was located in a remote area, many places were not suitable for farming, and the mountainous areas were sparsely populated. The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to it, so the development of local productivity was extremely slow.

In order to unleash the potential of Yunzhou, Du Le decided to carry out land reform in Yunzhou and promote the farm system. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
